Here is a ring, in 18 carat yellow gold, with a story.

I asked my customers to try to remember when they first decided they would get married, and they wrote me an email in reply.

“[He] was diagnosed with cancer. I dropped him off at the hospital to be operated on. That was the moment I realised that I wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. I went for a walk in the hills, in order to try to deal with this situation. I went through a mental exercise of taking his body to bits and washing it all. I remember taking all of his bones, including every rib, and washing them in my mind and then putting every part of his body back together again, to try and be of some help.”

This ring is the family diamond, set in the sternum. The ribs are holding the diamond as the ribs in actuality protect the heart. The back of the ring is depicted as a vertebra. As the two ribs effectively make two rings, This is both an engagement and wedding ring.
